What is Accreditation?

An Accreditation is the process that leads a school to become an accredited member of CCMA.  It involves a compilation of school policies and documents and a self-evaluation by a school, through the completion of a series of questionnaires followed by an on-site visit by at least two CCMA consultants.  The consultants prepare a written report of their findings and recommend that the school be accredited or that certain requirements must be met before a school is accredited.  Schools that receive their accreditation are presented with a certificate of accreditation and are permitted to refer to themselves as CCMA accredited schools.  Accredited schools are re-evaluated every five years.
